GOVERNMENT HOUSE OPEN DAY 2009

Join The Johnston Collection at Government House Open Day on Australia Day on 26 January 2009.

TJC and Government House Victoria have had a shared history of working together for nearly two decades.  Since 1990, Government House has been using pieces from the Collection to decorate the State Apartments, the Private Apartments and in other public spaces. 

A number of pieces from the Collection will be on display on Open Day and we will also be present to talk about our involvement with Government House Victoria.

Government House Open Day presents a unique opportunity to visit the State Apartments, historic stables and mews, as well as enjoy the 11 hectares of gardens.  

Entry is free and no ticket is require. Gates open at 9.30am. You will need to pass through a security checkpoint and bag inspection at entry.

Food and drink: You will be able to bring your own picnic to enjoy on the Western Lawn, or buy something from a range of food vendors on site. The Country Women’s Association will also be offering its famous scones with jam and cream in the original 19^th century kitchen.
